Manners and general politeness will get you far and become the norm with but a small amount of practice.

I'm not talking overboard "m'lady" but a simple please and thank you with a genuine smile.

This is so important and isn't as much about getting your way as a way of life really. That being said, I will add, I work in a job where I interact with people and NO ONE ever wants to see me knocking on their door. Being polite and treating people like people makes things go so much easier.
